1
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:12,177
Narrator: WE CAN NEVER KNOW WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED IN THE PAST,
2
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:16,231
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL OVER
AMERICA AND PROBABLY THE WORLD
3
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:20,019
WHO DRESS UP ON THE WEEKENDS IN
THE CLOTHES OF A FAVORITE PERIOD
4
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:25,290
TO TRY AND RE-CREATE
THE LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN
FROM A DISTANT TIME.
5
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:27,876
Woman, on radio: YEAH, WE'RE
GETTING ONE MORE REHEARSAL
FOR FRAMING HERE.
6
00:00:27,961 --> 00:00:29,995
Second woman:
YEAH, IS THE CAMERA READY?
7
00:00:30,046 --> 00:00:33,082
Narrator: HISTORY HAS
AN IMPERFECT MEMORY.
8
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:36,919
IT MAY BE HARD TO BELIEVE,
BUT A FRENCHMAN,
9
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:39,388
AN ARISTOCRAT NAMED LAFAYETTE,
10
00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:42,975
WAS ONE OF AMERICA'S FIRST
AND MOST POPULAR HEROES.
11
00:00:44,710 --> 00:00:49,231
WITHOUT HIM, THIS COUNTRY
MIGHT NOT HAVE WON ITS WAR
OF INDEPENDENCE.
12
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,818
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE STOOD
WAITING ON ROADSIDES
13
00:00:52,885 --> 00:00:55,938
AND CHEERED LAFAYETTE
LIKE A ROCK STAR
14
00:00:56,022 --> 00:01:00,743
WHEN HE TRAVELED
THROUGH AMERICA 50 YEARS AFTER
THE REVOLUTION HE HELPED WIN.
15
00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:05,697
HOW DID WE FORGET ONE
OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS?
16
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:09,752
IF YOU EVEN RECOGNIZE
THE NAME LAFAYETTE,
17
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:12,704
IT'S PROBABLY A VAGUE MEMORY
FROM A STORYBOOK
18
00:01:12,756 --> 00:01:16,425
OR MAYBE YOU'VE WALKED DOWN
A STREET WITH THAT NAME
19
00:01:16,509 --> 00:01:20,912
OR DRIVEN THROUGH A TOWN NAMED
LAFAYETTE, FAYETTEVILLE,
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
